place. Doing so will degrade the unit performance over time.
Use a vacuum cleaner to clean air lter. If the air lter is very dirty,
wash it in warm water with a mild detergent.
NOTE: Do not wash the air lter in the dishwasher or use any
chemical cleaners; it may damage the lter. Air dry the air lter
completely before replacing to ensure maximum efciency.
